Glenlochy
distillery was founded in Inverlochy, Fort
William, Inverness-shire in 1898 by David McAndie.
The
distillery was closed between 1919-24 and also 1926-37 and
changed hands many times until 1953 when DCL / SMD took control.
Sadly
the distillery was finally closed in 1983 and the buildings
have now been transformed into offices, as seen in the photo
left.

Rarest of the Rare
collection, cask No. 2454, bottle No. 99 of only 278
Typical price of
this bottle;
|
|
| |
Glass:
Classic Malt
Colour: 18
carat gold
Nose: Slow
to build, but after 3-5 minutes malt, popcorn, fresh herbs (not
quite mint) then eventually very aromatic rubber with hints of
open-air swimming pool.
Palate:
Initially very smooth and creamy, but it soon warms across the
palate with a fresh, leafy coconut.
With 4 drops of
water: More fresh leafiness on the nose. More spicy and
fresh on the palate.
Finish: Long
and much longer with water.
Overall
Impression: A very aromatically fresh whisky with a touch of
leafiness. What I would call an outdoor or countryside dram.
Very good! |

Glass:
Classic Malt
Colour: Pale
amber
Nose:
Warming with a suggestion of young fruity red wine (Süd Tirol
style?) then roast pork with herbs.
Palate:
The suggestion of roast pork definitely carries through onto the
palate but in a rather weak and watery way.
Finish:
Short and watery.
Overall
Impression: I love the herbal roast pork on the nose but
sadly the palate is rather weak and watery. |
